First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations nor our agreement, so I must do nothin'. And secondly, you must be a cacher for the Cacher's Code to apply, and you're not. And thirdly, the Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. Welcome aboard the Forums, Miss Turner.
But seriously:
"Caches that are buried. If a shovel, trowel or other “pointy” object is used to dig, whether in order to hide or to find the cache, then it is not appropriate."
Can't be more clear than that.
